    any shopping solution will use ssl and communicate directly with a payment gateway, and shouldn't do anything stupid like store payment details in a database, so there's really not much that will make one solution inherently less secure than another. regardless of what you choose, I'd hire someone that has experience with setting up ssl if you're not comfortable with it. I've used WP Shopp and WP E-Commerce plugins without issue and would recommend them. I don't know specifically what would be required for event registration that may not be covered by either of these, so I can't speak to that exactly. Any solution you choose runs the risk of being abandoned by the developers anyway, that's the risk you take if you're not writing it yourself. I've also done event registration and ticket sales where the client had an account with a site that handled all of that, so any transactions would get handed off to another site. not as pretty of course, but possibly an option.
